ItalianoGACKT Official X update. Translation below
I came through Day 2 in third place and ultimately finished in fifth place.
That was the result the other day.
What I really want to convey with this story
is not about those who won or lost —
but about those who never gave up until the end.
Look at the standings from Day 1.
A player who started from the bottom of the pack
successfully made it all the way to the final table.
That is the true beauty and reality of competition.
In the world of poker,
it’s often thought that those with the most chips have an advantage.
But that’s only one side of the story.
No matter how unfavorable the situation,
the goddess of victory only smiles upon those who continue to fight without giving up.
Life has the exact same structure.
Even if the current situation is bad,
even if things aren’t going well,
the path continues as long as you don’t give up.
Conversely,
the moment you press the “give up” button,
all possibilities disappear.
What I saw at that final table that day was like life itself.
More than winning or losing,
it was about the way people live their lives.
The moment you give up, everything is over.
As long as you believe in yourself,
your road to the final will never end.
Don’t give up.
